Introduction 1
1.1 VHF radio with DSC Class A

Exceeding standards set by IMO regulation for GMDSS Class A VHF, the August 2021-
introduced Bridge Alert Management IMO resolution MSC.302(87), as well as IEC
62923-1 & IEC 62923-2, the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC Class A is a robust platform for when
clear communication could make the difference between a non-event and a major
incident.
As part of the required safety equipment, use the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC in an
emergency situation. However the best way to guarantee functionality in an
emergency situation, is to use the radio in daily communication on board.
The VHF radio is a simplex/semi duplex VHF radio consisting of two units connected
with a standard Ethernet cable:
• SAILOR 7224 Control Unit
• SAILOR 7226 VHF Transceiver Unit
It is designed with an easy-to-use menu-driven setup. You use the touch screen on the
SAILOR 7224 Control Unit or a connected device with a browser to enter the desired
functions. You can also select channels using the rightmost selection knob. The large
display can be customized for optimum readability and visibility both day and night
with different color themes.
The VHF radio can replay 240 seconds of received voice messages. This is a useful
feature to minimize misunderstandings and to record messages when the radio is
unattended.
With SAILOR connection boxes the VHF radio connects easily to external equipment
like a BAM system, additional handsets, water proof hand microphones, control
speaker microphone, alarm panel or external speaker. The Ethernet interface
connects the Control Unit with the Transceiver Unit, and enables the VHF radio to be
connected to other units in a local network. Instead of the touch screen on the Control
Unit, you can also connect a PC or other device with a browser for setup and control
via the web interface.
For a list of accessories available for the VHF radio see Accessories available on
page 1-3 and check with your nearest distributor.

Connector type: TNC connector.
For more information about VHF antenna installation see VHF and DSC antenna
installation on page 2-20.

VHF and DSC antenna installation
2.5 VHF and DSC antenna installation

The SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC must be installed with one antenna for VHF RX/TX
communication and one antenna for DSC communication. You can install all
commonly available 50 Ohm antennas covering the appropriate frequency range and
providing a VSWR less than 1.5 over this range.
For further details on equipment and antenna installation, see IMO COMSAR/Circ. 32,
GUIDELINES FOR THE HARMONIZATION OF GMDSS REQUIREMENTS FOR RADIO
INSTALLATIONS ON BOARD SOLAS SHIPS.
2.5.1 Cable requirements

Connect the antennas using a low loss type 50 Ohm coaxial cable, e.g. good quality
RG214 or better. It is recommended to use a double-screened type cable (like e.g.
RG214) with a maximum insertion loss of 3dB across the antenna cable installation.
The maximum antenna cable length in the installation depends on the quality of the
cable, i.e. the specified attenuation (dB/m) of the cable of choice at the high end of the
VHF frequency band. As a rule of thumb the cable length using e.g. RG214 coaxial cable
should not exceed 25 m.
2.5.2 VHF RX/TX antenna

In installations with two or more VHF radios it is important to ensure the optimum
performance of these by carefully selecting the antenna positions for both radios. It is
recommended to maximize the RF attenuation between the VHF RX/TX antennas in the
installation. You can ensure this by not having the RX/TX antennas positioned at the
same horizontal level, i.e. the RX/TX antennas for each radio must be installed at
shifted elevations as shown in the following drawing.
If sufficient vertical distance between two or more such antennas cannot be achieved,
the horizontal distance between them is increasingly important for optimum
performance. If there is hardly any vertical separation ensure that there is a minimum
of 5 m horizontal distance between any RX/TX antennas in the installation.
To minimize any increase in VSWR of the VHF RX/TX antenna, install the antenna at a
vertical distance of at least 2 m to any other mast, pole or other RF antennas. Keep VHF
antennas as far away as possible from antenna main beam of any radar and satellite
equipment.

2.5.3 DSC antenna

The positioning of the DSC antennas is less critical in terms of the imposed VSWR and
due to the nature of the DSC signaling. Please note that the DSC receiver of a VHF radio
is likely to be temporarily blocked in reception due to high signal blocking, if the DSC
antenna is installed close to a transmitting RX/TX antenna at the same horizontal level.

Alerts in the Bridge Alert Management system (BAM)
5.3 Alerts in the Bridge Alert Management system

(BAM)
Important The word Alert is used in two different ways in this manual:
• In the BAM system an alert is a ship-internal message from connected
equipment to the bridge.
• In DSC an alert is a signal sent over the air to other ships and/or coast
stations, e.g. when you push the red Distress button.
Alerts from the Bridge Alert Management (BAM) system are shown in the display of the
Control Unit and are read-only. A tap on the icon in the lower right corner displays a list
of all active alerts.
The icons to signal alerts in the BAM system are shown below:
Warning: Active acknowledged alert
Caution: Alert
Warning: Active transferred alert
Warning: Active unacknowledged alert, silent
Warning: Active unacknowledged alert
Status OK, no active alerts
Warning: Inactive unacknowledged alert, rectified
For a list of possible alerts, see List of BAM alerts on page A-7.
5.4 DSC self test

To run a control routine DSC self test, do as follows:
1. From the Idle screen, tap DSC.
2. Tap SELF TEST.
The test will check the ability to encode/decode DSC signaling on RF level. The
radio will automatically transmit a DSC safety test call to its own MMSI number
without enabling the transmitter power amplifier. In parallel the radio decodes and
compares the received call to be the same as the transmitted. The display shows
the result of the test.
3. Press OK to acknowledge the test result and resume normal operation.
Important If the DSC loopback test fails, this indicates the DSC functionality does not
work correctly — including the ability to send a DISTRESS message.
Contact your dealer immediately for further advice.

Maintenance
5.5 Maintenance
5.5.1 Preventive maintenance

Maintenance of the SAILOR 7222 VHF DSC can be reduced to a maintenance check at
each visit of the service staff. Inspect the radio for mechanical damages, salt deposits,
corrosion and any foreign material. Due to its robust construction and ruggedness the
radio has a long lifetime. Anyway it must carefully be checked at intervals not longer
than 12 months - dependent on the current working conditions.
5.5.2 Replacing the fuse

One fuse is installed in the Transceiver Unit. If the fuse is blown, do as follows:
1. Track down why the fuse was blown and solve the problem.
2. Take out the old fuse.
3. Insert the new fuse. The fuse rating is 10 A T.

B.1.3 Maximum data rates

The maximum data rate for receiving NMEA – LWE sentences is 64 kbit/s. This equals 51
datagrams per second.
The maximum data rate for incoming Ethernet traffic - addressed or broadcast - not
used by the device is 0.8 Mbit/s. This equals 550 datagrams per seconds.
The system can handle 524 datagrams per second of type b) datagrams, while
handling a 50% load of type a) datagrams.

Cable 16
The CAN bus cable must be of a paired and twisted type designed for the purpose. The
CAN bus cable can handle signals up to 100 m away from the VHF radio to further
Control Speaker Microphones (CSM).
Only 1 CSM can be connected to the VHF radio with a CAN bus cable of max 100 m if the
cable dimension is 0.5mm2 of each cord. Other combinations with more CSMs must be
calculated seriously before installing the cable. If more CSMs are connected, the CAN

Cable requirements
cable of 0.5mm2 can handle the signals up to max. 100 m. The only restriction is the
power supply for the connected CSMs.
The voltage drop along the cable increases with the length of the cable. Separate
supply cables can be installed in parallel with the CAN cable to reduce voltage drop in
long cables. The maximum allowed voltage drop from VHF to CSM is 2 VDC. It means
1 VDC forward and 1 VDC return.
Max current consumption for each CSM is 0.5A.
Formula to calculate DC resistance in a wire:
R = 0 017  L  a
L = length of wire one way, in meter

a = cross section of the wire in mm2
Contact your local dealer for further information for correct installation.
Cable 17: CAN cable for bulkhead installation.

Same cable as cable 12, but the plug is removed and the wires are connected to the
connection box.
Same pin configuration as cable 8. See Cable specifications for cable 8 (CTRL) on
page C-21.
